It draws on a number of Gambian works, mainly from female but also male authors, to analyse gender in contemporary Gambian fiction. It focuses on challenging the social construction of gender norms, inequality and abuse whilst analysing how gender norms and stereotypes are represented, reinforced or challenged in significant facets of Gambian literature. Through this analysis, it becomes evident that the gender identity of the author plays a role in the depiction of the female and male characters and their situatedness in Gambian society. Various themes are covered, offering a broad insight and something for everyone education, motherhood, female circumcision, power and decision-making. It further explores male dominance, marriage, sex and sexuality, promiscuity and religion. A great insightful and thought provoking read for students, scholars and lay persons interested in African literature, gender studies and Gambian studies.
